I bought a Precor elliptical trainer (cost = one 5D MK II) and am about to freaking die, but I will get there.<<< Ken, Don't do that!!!!! Just take your time and move into it easily, trust me it isn't going to happen overnight nor in a few weeks. Although after a couple of weeks never mind trying to become Charles Atlas. J That's not what it's about. But you should feel positive body feelings in a few weeks. But good on you for having ago at it. >>Re politeness, I've noticed in the last few years that when I hold the door or elevator for a woman, they seem a little surprised.<<< Absolutely had the same re-action. Of course what this indicates is the words "gentleman holding door for lady." has fallen by the way side also. Hell some guys need their asses kicked harder as they bullishly push their way through the door and let it slam behind them without a look to see if theirs another human behind. It doesn't take but a second or two for a quick look, person there, hold door, move on, a politeness offered. Even if there wasn't a reward of "thank you" for the few seconds of door holding politeness! It simply comes down to "What you give, you'll get in return!" So simple! But a near complete loss between humans these days. Such a shame when it costs nothing. Cheers, ted
